Systems And Methods For Managing Electrical Loads

A system for managing electrical loads includes a plurality of branch circuits, a sensor system, and control circuitry. The sensor system is configured to measure one or more electrical parameters corresponding to the plurality of branch circuits, and transmit one or more signals to the control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to determine respective electrical load information in each branch circuit based on the sensor system, and control the electrical load in each branch circuit using controllable elements based on the respective electrical load information. The control circuitry transmits usage information, generates displays indicative of usage information, accesses stored or referencing information to forecast electrical load, and manages electrical load in response to identified events. The control circuitry can associate each branch circuit with reference load information, and disaggregate loads on each branch circuit based on the reference load information and on the electrical load in the branch circuit.

1 Independent Claims

  • Claim CLM-00001. 1. A system for managing electrical loads, the system comprising: a plurality of branch circuits, each respective branch circuit comprising a respective controllable element; a sensor system configured to measure one or more electrical parameters corresponding to the plurality of branch circuits; and control circuitry coupled to each respective controllable element and the sensor system, the control circuitry configured to: determine respective electrical load information in each respective branch circuit of the plurality of branch circuits based on the sensor system; and control the respective electrical load in each respective branch circuit using the respective controllable element based on the respective electrical load information.
  • Claim CLM-00016. 16. A method for managing electrical loads, the method comprising: receiving, at control circuitry, at least one sensor signal from a sensor system configured to measure one or more electrical parameters corresponding to one or more branch circuits; associating the one or more branch circuits with reference load information, wherein the reference load information comprises at least one expected load; determining, at the control circuitry, a respective electrical load in the one or more branch circuits based on the sensor signal; disaggregating more than one load on at least one branch circuit based at least in part on the reference load information and based at least in part on the respective electrical load in the one or more branch circuits; and controlling a respective controllable element to manage the respective electrical load in each respective branch circuit.
  • Claim CLM-00021. 21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that when executed by control circuitry cause the control circuitry to: receive at least one sensor signal from a sensor system configured to measure one or more electrical parameters corresponding to one or more branch circuits; associate the one or more branch circuits with reference load information, wherein the reference load information comprises at least one expected load; determine a respective electrical load in the one or more branch circuits based on the sensor signal; disaggregate more than one load on at least one branch circuit based at least in part on the reference load information and based at least in part on the respective electrical load in the one or more branch circuits; and control a respective controllable element to manage the respective electrical load in each respective branch circuit.
